Pinwheel's Integrations Platform (IP) team builds the services, primitives, and tooling that make 1800+ integrations work at scale, including proxy management, browser automation, identity flows, session handling, and the runtime that every Integrations Engineer (IE) builds on top of. We're hiring a mid-level Backend Engineer to own well-scoped platform projects end-to-end, ship reliability and performance improvements that benefit every IE, and grow into broader systems ownership.
